That concludes this update and also concludes the fitting of the supplied parts for the kit. Next week i will start to add more pipework as befitting these engines, along with dials and gauges.

Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend and happy modelling! BigGrin

Good evening from 'The Dockyard'.

Thank you very much for the nice comments guys! BigGrin

So this week i added some scratch built details to the diesel engines.

I used 0.7mm diameter solder for the pipes. I found solder works really well; easy to bend and shape.

The attached photo shows the front of both diesel engines with scratch built pipework and filters yet to be painted.
